7 DAYS, JULY 3 TDS DIAGNOSIS Long ago, the 7 Days feature ... was clever, amusing and edgy. It’s become a scolding, angry and self-righteous insult served on a weekly basis. “AOC visits immigration Camp” ...and it’s so much worse than you ever imagined?? AOC saw only an empty parking lot but made her visit into a photo op that has been thoroughly outed for its fakery. Surely you must know that. Your indignation is fake. “Find yourself a different paper to read if you support this stuff” you wrote in reference to the camp guard Facebook page containing hateful content. Personally, I do not support vile and hateful communication, but your unrelenting Trump Derangement Syndrome has turned this weekly feature into the personification of all you despise. Get funny or die. You are certainly killing your readers. Every time I read the Reporter I want my money back.

ederal authorities arrested Manhattan financier and admitted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein last week, and an indictment unsealed Monday accuses him of systematically recruiting and sexually abusing underage girls. The indictment of the billionaire named two of his properties, his Upper East Side loft in Manhattan and his vacation home in Palm Beach, Florida, as potential locations of his alleged trafficking of child sex slaves, but the wording in the document is just vague enough that another of his holdings could potentially become a target in the feds’ investigations, and therefore a candidate for court-ordered forfeiture: an estate in Santa Fe County. If government lawyers can successfully prove their case, the indictment requires Epstein “shall forfeit to the United States … any property, real and personal, that was used or intended to be used to commit or to facilitate the commission of the offense.” Accusers say his 7,559-acre Zorro Ranch near Stanley—about an hour’s drive south of Santa Fe on Highway 41— was also the site of the sexual coercion of children. Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, his alleged madame and a woman who Epstein described to Vanity Fair in 2003 as his “best friend,” sexually assaulted a then 15-year-old girl at the ranch, according to an 2019 affidavit filed by the girl’s sister, who worked for Epstein at the time. “The Office of the Attorney General has been in contact with survivors, is conducting a review of this matter, and we will be forwarding evidence to federal authorities for proper action,” New Mexico Attorney General’s office spokesman Matt Baca tells SFR via email.
PALM BEACH COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT
New Mexico property could become embroiled in Epstein scandal
COURTESY KRQE
Wretched Ranch
Zorro Ranch was not explicitly named in the New York US District Court indictment. But throughout the 14-page document, “other locations” are mentioned, both as places where Epstein’s crimes took place and as properties potentially subject to seizure by the federal government. Bob Gorence, an Albuquerque attorney who has worked on both sides of federal cases, says that the wording of the indictment leaves the possibility open to state seizure of any property used to facilitate his crimes, as long as the government can win its case and prove that the property was part of the wrongdoing. “If he engaged in this conduct there, the ranch itself is subject to forfeiture,” Gorence tells SFR, though he notes he’s not familiar with the particulars of the Epstein case. One wrinkle: Epstein’s name is not on the deed to the Zorro Ranch. Instead, it’s a company based out of the US Virgin Islands, a famously opaque tax shelter where Epstein owns a private island. The ranch has been widely identified in the press as belonging to Epstein, however. The owner company, listed as Cypress, Inc. in county records, is not publicly traded and does not have a public-facing website. Epstein’s name last appeared as the direct owner of the property in county records in 2012, and Cypress, Inc. appeared in 2013. Described as a luxury hacienda, the 33,000-square-foot mansion features an open-air courtyard with a fountain and what appear from aerial photography to be several lush gardens. Epstein once said that it made his New York penthouse look like “a shack.”

Santa Fe Brewing Company prepares for opening of beer garden, other expansion B Y K AT H E R I N E L E W I N k a t h e r i n e @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
The newly constructed tap room on Fire Place could open as soon as late fall.
almost like a mini amphitheater. That’s also the drainage for all of the beer garden … We’ll probably have a couple other fire features towards the entrance,” Lock tells SFR. “All of these trees were transplanted from our hop farm. … I still have a bunch more I plan to put in on the exterior property lines just to start to create a forest in here. That’s the ultimate goal, just to have a really huge outdoor beer garden experience for Santa Fe because there’s really, I don’t think, anything quite like it.” Santa Fe Brewing has expanded quickly and powerfully since Lock opened the original taproom on Fire Place and bought out his partners in 2003. In 2015, the company was awarded a $250,000 Local Economic Development Act (LEDA) grant for expansion, according to the New Mexico Economic Development Department. The company promised to grow to 64 jobs by Jan 1, 2020. As of the first quarter of 2019, the current headcount is 41. For now, the future beer garden is a busy, loud construction site as Lock guides SFR through a tour of the taproom, planned to have only one television and a piano, in order to encourage people to talk to each other. Lock didn’t want even one television, but says he was “outvoted.” Patrons sitting at the bar will look straight into the cannery, which has been running since 2010, to watch as thousands of brightly colored aluminum cylinders are filled with beer. They may also walk
outside to grab food from a semi-permanent food trailer that will have a kitchen. There will be self-guided tours to view the cannery from above and retail sales from a walk-in cooler, plus T-shirts and other beer-related items for sale in the brick-and-mortar merchandise store attached to the taproom. Rebranding the complex at Fire Place so people can more easily distinguish it from the company’s multiple other locations is also in the works, along with the physical expansion. “That’s what I think people’s confusion is if they’re like, ‘I’m going to the Santa Fe Brewing.’ Well, which one? They have one in the Eldorado taphouse, they have one ANSON STEVENS-BOLLEN
S
anta Fe Brewing Company owner Brian Lock stands on the patio of the second floor of the future multi-story taproom and waves his hands over the sandy lot in front of him. He’s describing what the future holds for the missing piece of the puzzle that has been a long time coming for the brewery’s original location at 35 Fire Place on the far Southside of Santa Fe. A tentative timeline for completion of the expansion is late fall or early winter, depending on how construction goes. Across from The Bridge, the original venue that was on the property when Lock bought it, and between the first taproom and the cannery, is the partially constructed shell of a brand new brick three-story taproom. The first and second floors are for patrons, with corporate offices on the third floor. The offices for staff will be complete with large windows, a kitchen, a rooftop spot for both “shotgunning parties” and “million-dollar views.” Second-story rooms are set to be available to rent out for private events, and there will also be a new brewhouse. Brewery visitors will enter the threestory taproom by walking through a beer garden on winding concrete paths with fire features and dozens of evergreen trees transplanted from Lock’s hop farm on the Rio Grande. “In the middle, right as you walk in, there’s gonna be a center sunken fire pit,

downtown at The Brakeroom, and they have one out here; they have the Green Jeans one, I’m opening another one in Tin Can Alley,” Lock tells SFR, the last two locations referring to Albuquerque. “This one has never had a name that made sense for it. People remembered it by The Bridge at Santa Fe Brewing … We’re looking at naming the whole complex so people can refer to where they’re going.” The Bridge, a taproom and popular outdoor venue in the summer for concerts, is also likely to get a new name and be used more as a space for weddings, receptions, graduation parties and conferences. But not until the construction is finished on the new taproom and corporate headquarters. For now, it will continue to be a concert venue. The first brews in the new brewhouse should be up and running by midSeptember, Lock tells SFR. “It’s going to be a much larger operation and we’ll have capacity then to grow to 150,000 barrels with everything in place. We’re on track for 40,000 [barrels] this year, so we could triple our size. We’re set up to grow,” Lock says, talking about just the new brewhouse within the next five to 10 years. Santa Fe Brewing distributes outof-state to Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri, and Lock says brewers are working on cider recipes to launch canned cider next year.

PNM proposes four alternatives to shutting down San Juan Generating Station and transitioning to renewables
WILD EARTH GARDIANS
Four Paths to Renewables
S FR E P O RTE R .CO M / N E WS
San Juan Generating Station provides up to 25% of PNM’s power.
BY L E A H CA N TO R l e a h @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
T
he Public Utilities Company of New Mexico has released proposals for shutting down the coal-powered San Juan Generating Station in the Four Corners area by 2020 in compliance with renewable energy standards set by the state’s new Energy Transition Act. The law was one of the most lauded— and controversial—bills passed in the 2019 legislative session earlier this year. For years, the San Juan Generating Station has been at the heart of bitter debates that pitted coal miners, environmental groups and consumer advocates against one another, with PNM caught somewhere in the middle. And in many respects, passage of the act entailed narrowly successful feats of legislative gymnastics in the effort to placate stakeholders on all sides. The new law requires the state to transition to 50% renewable energy by 2030 and 100 percent carbon-free electricity generation by 2045, setting New Mexico on course to become a national leader in renewable energy standards. It also demands that PNM
take measures to mitigate the economic impacts that the closure of the plant will have on local communities dependent on the jobs and the tax revenue from the coal-powered generating station. PNM says it can do even better. The utility’s proposed plan of action includes four scenarios to replace the power generated by the San Juan station with 100% renewable energy by 2040, five years earlier than the requirements set out by the ETA. Yet other stakeholders continue to raise doubts about the utility’s proposed reliance on natural gas and the costs that will be handed off to ratepayers. All four scenarios contemplate complete shutdown and cleanup of the coal-burning power plant. The Four Scenarios: 1. The scenario most favored by PNM entails a combination of energy sources, including 350 megawatts of solar power generated at arrays owned by independent power producers across the state and a 280-megawatt fast-start natural gas plant that would be located in San Juan County, which would help mitigate the blow to the region’s
tax base. The remaining megawatts of replacement power would be split between battery storage and wind. PNM claims this would also be the most cost-efficient option for consumers. 2. The second scenario would depend almost entirely on electricity generated by gas-powered plants in San Juan County. This scenario would offer the greatest source of tax revenue to the San Juan school district but the least reduction in CO2, and would raise costs to consumers. 3. In the third scenario, the San Juan coal-powered plant would be replaced by a combination of solar, wind and battery storage across the state, with only 40 megawatts located in the San Juan school district. 4. PNM’s fourth scenario relies completely on renewable energy resources without any battery storage or natural gas. While it’s ultimately up to the Public Regulation Commission to decide how to move forward, PNM has recommended adoption of the first scenario. PNM’s spokesman Ray Sandoval tells SFR the utility would phase out gas plants in the
NEWS
first and second scenarios by 2040. The reliability of the grid and the current cost of batteries make the third and fourth scenarios unfeasible. Depending solely on renewables, he says, is “a risky gamble.” The company presented the ideas, however, because it anticipates competing interests will interpret the law in various ways. Some consumer and environmental advocates say this is not good enough. Santa Fe-based New Energy Economy was one organization that opposed the passage of the Energy Transition Act based on the costs that will be shouldered by ratepayers for shutting down the coal-fired plant. Under each of PNM’s proposed scenarios, the utility will issue bonds to pay for the transition, including severance and retraining programs for coal plant employees and tribal nations affected by the closure. The utility will refinance that debt by raising electric bills for the average consumer. Due to the cost for rate payers and the reliance on natural gas of PNM’s recommended scenario, New Energy Economy continues to raise issue with the proposed transition plan. “Natural gas emits methane, one of the most powerful greenhouse gasses that causes climate destruction,” says Mariel Nanasi, director of NEE. “More than 600 cities in the world and the US House have either adopted or introduced resolutions properly naming what the world is experiencing, which is a climate emergency. Meanwhile, while PNM touted the transition to renewables, it’s proposing gas as its preferred resource alternative. We need to move in the direction of energy efficiency and renewables as quickly as possible because we don’t have time to waste.” Over the next several months, the utility’s proposal will go to a hearing examiner, who will make a recommendation for the Public Regulation Commission, which will decide whether to approve the recommended plan, one of the alternatives, or send PNM back to the drawing board. The hearing has yet to be scheduled.

hings have changed in New Mexico’s medical cannabis industry. After eight years under the Susana Martinez administration (a government that was, to say the least, inhospitable to the plant and its medical benefits), the new governor, Michelle Lujan Grisham, is making strides in the state’s medical program. Patient license renewal now requires fewer hoops, and more conditions qual-

ify for permission to use cannabis. Plus, producers are permitted to grow more plants. As a result, New Mexico’s patients and cannabis providers find themselves in a very different environment than they did less than a year ago. Officials added opioid use disorder and autism last month as qualifying conditions, a move that was celebrated by activists and producers even as it heightened fears of under-supply. Lujan Grisham named recreational marijuana a priority for the 2020 legislative session and pledged to still preserve the integrity of the medical program. Overall, patients and growers whom the Department of Health polled in May seem to appreciate the new direction. Many have hopes for change far beyond what the administration has already put in place. “Unfortunately we spent the last eight
years under an administration that was very hostile to cannabis,” Bryan Krumm, a psychiatric nurse practitioner from Albuquerque, said at a Medical Cannabis Advisory Board Meeting in March about opioid use disorder. “We had an evil, cruel, vindictive governor who spent her career as a prosecutor destroying the lives of cannabis users. And Secretary of Health Lynn Gallagher chose to be a lapdog to Governor Susana Martinez. They now have blood on their hands.” Krumm argues that many people who have died from overdoses would still be alive had opioid use qualified for a medical cannabis card sooner. Lujan Grisham’s spokesman Tripp Stelnicki agrees there’s a necessary change in tack underway. “At the heart of it—and I don’t think this was the case in
recent years—we recognize medical cannabis as a benefit to patients, essential to treat certain symptoms of many painful and debilitating disorders,” he writes to SFR in an email. Research into dosing and new strains and education-raising efforts are also on the docket, Stelnicki says. What might New Mexico’s state of mind on cannabis look like in the near future? Tip of the Cap Before she went off to Washington, DC, to represent New Mexico in Congress, Lujan Grisham was the secretary of health when the medical cannabis program was first established by the Erin and Lynn Compassionate Use Act 12 years ago. During these first six months she’s been governor, dispensaries in New Mexico have operated under what’s known as the plant cap. Their agricultural operations are limited to 450 plants at a time, including seedlings, saplings and clones. The cap put such a limit on supply that producers and patients sued the state. The courts forced the Department of Health to act, and it instituted a temporary emergency increase to 2,500 plants. A new cap is set to be determined this month. Officials have scheduled a meeting Friday July 12 to hear public comment on their proposed 1,750 plants. Next, a hearing officer will make a formal recommendation, but the final say belongs to Department of Health Secretary Kathy Kunkel. One critical element included in the new rule: The cap would apply only to adult flowering plants, meaning that growers are less constricted by growth rates and can offer more saplings to patients who hold a personal production license. “There’s really a different approach in this administration to which I belong towards the treatment of the symptoms of some of these disorders,” Kunkel tells SFR.

cal cannabis producers say they estimate they need to grow 2,500 plants,” the report reads. Brian Egolf, the speaker of the New Mexico House of Representatives—as well as the attorney for Ultra Health, the largest dispensary network in the state—fears that a plant count that is too restrictive could, in addition to hurting dispensaries, push patients towards the black market.
“I think it’s very clear that there’s tremendous patient demand for affordable medicine,” Egolf tells SFR. “And I think it’s not going to be too surprising that when people need their medicine and they don’t have their particular strain or variety or product at any of the vendors, then they will meet that demand through the illicit market—which is something that I don’t want to see happening. I’d rather anyone who wants access to the medicine be able to get it from a licensed, regulated store, not from someone on the street corner.” Alderete says when patients come into New MexiCann in Santa Fe looking for a particular strain that isn’t available at that time due to the plant limitations, budtenders can often find a similar variety with the same effects. Chavez, the marketing director, says it’s more than simply not getting a preferred product. Certain strains can treat specific symptoms among patients, he says, and the unavailability of a particular strain can mean that those symptoms don’t go away, or that there are side effects that otherwise would not be present. “When I smoked way back in the day, sometimes I’d think I’d have gotten crappy weed,” Chavez says. “And I know now that my body prefers indica. There are different strains or different terp profiles that just didn’t sit with me,” he says, referring to the chemical in cannabis that gives the strains their varying scents and is often indicative of the effect of the strain. At one point under the old plant count, New MexiCann had to stop selling clones because they needed every plant they could get to keep up with demand. “We’re constantly growing, just to try to keep up with supply,” Alderete says. According to the Department of Health survey, 68% of dispensaries say their patients want products that they do not provide. Overall, though, patients are happier with the program than producers are. Of the 607 patients polled by the Department of Health, 80% said that they were overall satisfied.
Number of cardholders in New Mexico: Strain variety, like what’s shown on this New MexiCann menu, is one of the things patients told the Department of Health was most important to them.
But a higher plant count won’t satisfy everyone. “I don’t think we should be putting limits on people’s medicine,” Josh Alderete, chief operating officer at the New MexiCann dispensary, says while walking between rows of plants in his Santa Fe greenhouse. “We should be able to have certain strains that we know are going to be in our tinctures. We should always [have] this CBD Harlequin for our daytime products,” he adds, pointing to the plant in question as an example. Alderete and Rod Chavez, marketing director for New MexiCann, continue to chat as they step over puddles of water on the greenhouse floor, past distinctive

seven-sided leaves whose colors ranged from green to blue and yellow, going back and forth about the way things used to be and the way things are now; greenhouses have replaced backyard enterprises and garage grows and budtenders have superseded street corner dealers. “Did you see the leaves on this one?” Chavez calls out from further down a row. “Monstrous.” New MexiCann plans to soon add outdoor growing to its production, but the area is not yet planted—and that turned out to be fortunate for the growers. Golf ball-sized hail fell the week prior to SFR’s visit. Outdoor grows are more energy-efficient, Alderete says, using natural sunlight rather than heavy heat lamps. Indoor grows provide a more controlled environment, but Alderete still likes growing outdoors. “What doesn’t kill them makes them stronger,” he says with a grin. A survey of producers commissioned by the Department of Health released in May found widespread frustration with the current cap on plants. “When asked how many plants they estimate they need to grow, per year, in order to meet current patient demand (including for products their company does not currently produce), the plurality of medi-

is an even bigger issue for the 73,000plus patients in the program, and the tens of thousands more that are likely to enter over the next year,” Marissa Novel, spokeswoman for Ultra Health, tells SFR. “We know the problem is real,” adds Duke Rodriguez, CEO of Ultra Health. “And their latest proposal of 1,750 will go nowhere near fixing the problem.” Ultra Health successfully sued the state over plant counts in 2016, and has filed lawsuits related to the fee structure of cannabis producers versus cannabis product manufacturers and gross receipts tax revenue. Egolf says he’s concerned with the overall concept of a plant cap. “I think it’s old thinking, ” he says, “and I hope

“As a customer, no, I’ve never had a supply issue,” John Reid, a Santa Fe patient who uses cannabis to treat PTSD symptoms, tells SFR. “Walking into a store, you can always find what you need.” However, many of the patients polled by the Department of Health want greater availability of strains. More than a quarter of the patients polled in the study report they couldn’t get a particular strain when they visited a dispensary, and had to wait an average of 16 days before it was back in stock. Some of the anonymous testimonials featured in the survey cited lack of variety and higher prices than other states as an issue. Laurie Harris, a 62-year-old chronic pain patient who was able to kick the opioids she’s been taking since a spinal surgery more than a decade ago, tells SFR she’s had issues with supply. “I’ve run into shortages,” says Harris. Sometimes she wants a strain with particular traits and and it’s not available, she says. “I’ve had that problem in the past at a number of dispensaries. They just don’t have it.” So why does the plant count even exist? According to Kunkel, protecting against oversupply is a large factor, but even more important is fending off “diversion,” or an overabundance of plants that then spills into neighboring states like Texas with more restrictive rules. “It’s very difficult to prove, but if we know based on all of our calculations that our patients are not consuming any more than a certain amount, it has to go somewhere,” Kunkel says, noting program staff believe the emergency number is too high to remain in place. There’s no consensus about how much is enough, though, and Medical Program Director Kenny Vigil did not return an interview request for this story to explain the math. “I would call this a monumental issue to us organizationally, but I believe this

that it doesn’t take root in the new administration. There’s no need for it.” Pot not Percocet “The governor made it clear in her campaign that she was going to add opioid use disorder as a qualifying condition,” Kunkel says. That’s just what happened last month, when the Department of Health announced that a number of new conditions, opioid use disorder and autism spectrum disorder chief among them, would now qualify patients for a medical license. Studies like one published in JAMA Internal Medicine in 2014 demonstrated that medical cannabis can have a positive effect on habitual opiate users, whether the drugs they take were recreational or self-medication or prescribed as painkillers. There is anecdotal evidence as well that opioid users respond positively to cannabis use as a treatment for withdrawal symptoms and pain relief. “Cannabis helped substantially with the withdrawal process from opioid drugs,” says La Cienega resident Harris. Though she turned down weed when she worked on Wall Street in the ’80s, she tried it more recently. “Thanks to the palliative qualities of cannabis, I have remained opioid-free for eight months and have no intention of going back on opioid medications. ... This has been a liberation and has had a positive effect on my quality of life.” Harris adds that opioids have their place, for people who are recovering from surgery, like she did, or for those who are dying. But for others, people “with a life ahead of them,” the answer is clear to her: “Cannabis is 100% better than opioids.” In 2005, New Mexico had the highest rate of opioid-related deaths in the country. And although the state’s rating has dropped to 16th in the nation, the change is not a sign that the crisis is abating. New Mexico’s rate is still climbing—just not as fast as states in the South and Midwest.

incorporate all public safety concerns, workplace regulations, labeling requirements that protect underage children and all manner of other issues.” “I want New Mexico’s introduction and management of recreational cannabis to be the envy of the country,” the governor added. “We can and will incorporate lessons learned from other states so that New Mexico provides for a well-regulated industry that, crucially, does not infringe on or harm our expanding medical cannabis program, upon which so many New Mexicans rely.” Davis agrees that preserving the medical program is crucial to a potential adult use bill. “We can’t have patients lose access to medicine, those strains that have been developed,” Davis tells SFR. “The last thing you need is to have a seizure

Funny How Time Slips Away Officials say that there’s more in store for the medical cannabis program, and the July 12 meeting is the next big step for the plant in New Mexico. The creation of a working group to begin crafting a recreational cannabis bill in the legislative off-season is another. Lujan Grisham formed a task force at the end of June to pursue recreational cannabis. Led by Albuquerque City Councilor Pat Davis, its other members include Javier Martinez, D-Albuquerque, who sponsored last session’s recreational cannabis bill; Picuris Pueblo Finance Director Les Rubin; Emily Kaltenbach of the Drug Policy Alliance; and various other attorneys, legislators, cabinet secretaries, business leaders and healthcare professionals. The goal of the working group, according to a statement released by the governor, is to “ensure we begin the next session with a credible, equitable and cohesive legalization proposal that will
WILL COSTELLO
The Medical Cannabis Advisory Board, a body comprised of medical professionals and under the jurisdiction of the Department of Health, recommended that opioid use disorder be added as a qualifying condition for two years in a row, but the Martinez administration refused to do so. It’s not clear exactly how much enrollment will increase as a result of the new qualifying conditions, especially because many of the patients in need of opioid treatment could have been receiving medical cannabis for another condition that does qualify, like PTSD. But enrollment in the program has continued to increase exponentially since its inception, even during Martinez years. At the end of 2013, for example, there were 10,708 patients with medical cards. Four years later, that number jumped to 46,645, and it now sits above 70,000.

medication that works for you and then have it become unavailable because your supplier decided to switch all their efforts to adult use.” But Davis is optimistic about a future legalization bill’s chances. “The governor, on the last day of the session, set one priority: legalizing cannabis,” Davis tells SFR. He believes elements of the previous legalization bill made it unpalatable to advocates, and that time simply ran out for the legalization bill. The proposal made it further than such a bill has ever gotten during a session of the New Mexico legislature before dying in the Senate committee process. And that progress proved that something seen as radical only a decade ago has legs. Avoiding the pitfalls that befell the last legalization bill is a big reason for the task force: Davis says that presenting a coherent piece of legislation to the statehouse and providing plenty of time to iron out details is a primary focus of the task force. That’s crucial because the Legislature’s next session is a short one—just 30 days. Another positive move for cannabis during this year’s session was a bill that reduces penalties on unlicensed marijuana possession. It took statewide effect on Monday, so those caught with small amounts of marijuana and who don’t have a prescription will get off with a small fine and a “civil penalty.” The previous structure imposed $1,000 fines and carried the possibility of jail time. But rec still languished, despite positive effects in other states. For example,
since it legalized recreational use in 2014, Colorado recently hit the $1 billion mark in tax revenue from cannabis sales—all of which is used for state projects like education and road maintenance. One of the other positive externalities of medical cannabis is the mainstreaming of the plant as a treatment. The reduction in stigma cannot be understated. Cannabis is rapidly shifting from something associated with stoner culture to a legitimate field of medical study and a legitimate business operation. “This is a medical operation,” says Chavez, of NewMexiCann. “We operate under more restrictions than most places do. I know when I first got my card, I was skeptical of the medical industry.” But his skepticism has been assuaged. “The opioid epidemic has started to decrease. It’s real. The research is there. It’s not just something that everyone wants to help. It’s not a placebo effect. There’s actual medical benefits.” The opposition, according to Harris, the patient who used cannabis to rid herself of opiates post-surgery, says that the fears surrounding the plant are ungrounded. “There’s people on the Right who say it’s a slippery slope: cannabis into opioids or cocaine or meth,” Harris says. “No! No. No.” PUBLIC MEETING: CANNABIS PLANT COUNTS 9 am Friday July 12. Free. New Mexico Department of Health, Harold Runnels Auditorium, 1190 S St. Francis Drive, 575-649-0754

MUSIC SUN/14 I DON’T KNOW WHAT WE’RE YELLING ABOUT Loud noises and maybe a little bit of nonsense are what you can expect from The Wizard, a psych-fuzz act straight outta San Antonio with garage-gritty bass and fierce drumming. The newest tunes (which you can listen ahead of time at thewizard.bandcamp.com) are more on the side of a surf-punk-rock hybrid than anything else, but it still gets wild and fuzzy-dirty more often than it sounds beachy. This music isn’t clean, it isn’t clear precisely what genre it might be, it ain’t necessarily danceable and it’s too wakethe-fuck-up’ey to be tranceable; but you get sucked in, splatted against a wall of sound and gloriously scraped back up and re-formed into something a little happier.

Cello? Is it Me You’re Looking For? Cellist Joseph Johnson returns to Santa Fe for time at the opera and beyond “So, Santa Fe is really a great place to spend the summer,” cellist Joseph Johnson tells SFR. “Not only because it’s beautiful here, but because I get to play.” This year marks Johnson’s 10th migration to town for the summer. He’s the principal cellist for the Santa Fe Opera—plus the Toronto Symphony Orchestra back home in Canada, where he is also assistant professor of cello at the University of Toronto—and also performs with the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival each year. And while he’s been a cello devotee for more than 20 years and plays in incredible venues across the world, Santa Fe summers hold a special place in his heart. “There are a few major opera halls in the states. … And the great thing about Santa Fe is that most are off right now,” he says. “So we get access to all of these amazing singers and conductors who work at these opera houses during the year.” But if a night at the opera isn’t doable for whatever reason, Johnson performs
a special pair of solo suites by Bach and Britten at SITE Santa Fe this week during the mid-morning hours, and the show is quite affordable to boot. According to Johnson, compositions for an unaccompanied cello are fairly rare, but those written by JS Bach and lesser-known 20th-century composer Benjamin Britten are not only beautiful, but a test of prowess for any cellist. Further, he says, such intimate performances are as thrilling for him as for an audience. “It’s a different experience,” he says. “A lot of people aren’t super familiar with cello music, so I know I’m always introducing something new—people leave different than when they came in.” Poet Donald Levering also reads as part of the event.

When it comes to music like that, I’d suspect your folks got you into it. My mother was a piano teacher and player. … She was in the local jazz band when I was a kid, and I grew up listening to a pretty eclectic set of tunes. She was super into Debussy and Ravel, a bunch of that piano-driven stuff, as well as Bill Evans, who was her favorite piano player. And then … in my peripheral family, we’d all go to these bluegrass festivals when I
I don’t often hear of someone going from guitar to piano. More the opposite, actually. How’d you get there? I’ve always played piano, but it was never something I was super into. Honestly, until a few years ago, I hadn’t started putting in the work, the real practicing it takes. But as an adult, it’s crazy—guitar feels like such a limited instrument. Having played it for so many years and coming to piano, you can do such cool arrangement stuff; you’re basically playing with a full 10-piece ensemble. I’m just burnt out on [guitar]. With piano, it’s kind of good to be a bit of a novice, to be excited about stuff that maybe to a skilled pianist would find a little mundane. Whatever it takes to get you past the step to make it a song—that feeling, that inspiration—that’s the hardest thing, and you have to trick yourself.

Right away—and this might be more of a question just personally for me—are you just, like, a huge Harry Nilsson fan? I am a Nilsson fan. He’s not somebody I listen to a ton, but I do think we share a lot of the same influences. I found out about him through the Nilsson Sings Newman record, and I think that weird cross-section of really liking lyrical writers like Randy Newman, but also being into classic American songwriter stuff—me and Nilsson have a lot of the same influences, I think, like Cole Porter or Hoagie Carmichael.
So then you’re talking more narrative-driven stuff ? In my own writing, I like stuff that takes you from one place to another. I like conflict and resolution. I do like narrative and story-driven stuff, but I listen to a lot of music that isn’t that lyrically. One could make the argument that instrumental music, specifically jazz, does that without words. It sort of expands on that theme and takes you to another place. The idea of playing a straightforward melody, it’s kind of a narrative, things go in a direction and get more complicated.

eads up that SFR’s editorial staff is officially obsessed with Alpine, Texas-based white suitclad singer-songwriter Robert Ellis—aka the Texas Piano Man. On his newest self-titled album from New West Records, Ellis somehow taps into the energy and appeal of standards, torch songs and the Great American Songbook while keeping it fresh, bluesy and rocky enough to lure new fans into his web. Think A Little Touch of Schmilsson in the Night, a little bit of Elton John, a little bit of Texas style. Ellis comes to Santa Fe this week for an intimate show at the El Rey Court but, he says, he’ll be back this October for a support slot with Rufus Wainwright at the Lensic Performing Arts Center.

was a kid, and some of my family played in bluegrass bands. Guitar was my first obsession, and as a kid I wanted to play flat-picking tunes. My mother was just super in love with music, and I definitely got that bug and cared a lot less about the style and aesthetic bent and was more into the [lyrical] content; what’s happening, why it’s interesting.
Y’know, it occurs to me Texas might be the only state where you can say it’s also a style of music. You’re a lifer there? There’s a bit of context here that’s hard to see from the outside, but I wanted to say if you think A and B are Texas music, then I have just as much as right to be Texas music as they do. Part of this was to be like—OK, our biggest hero is Willie Nelson. He would be king if we could make him king of Texas, and when I think about him, I think about this oddball, unique, exploratory person who is pushing the boundaries of what he’s allowed to do. He’s this cult figure for a bunch of people who completely disagree with his politics. For a long time, Texas music has not been that. It’s this very trite, trope-y thing; it’s like, when I tour in Japan, people always ask, ‘Do you ride a horse?’ People’s perception of Texas music is that question, that it’s going to be about drinking Lone Star Beer at a fucking tavern. And with [the album] I kind of wanted to say that Texas is a big place and we’re all part of it.

Do you have tricks to trick yourself ? I write a lot and that helps. Not trying to be so precious about stuff, not get bogged down. I’ll set a timer, work for five minutes, then when the timer goes off I get up and do something else. And I go back and forth. Songwriting gets harder for me, I think. In some ways it gets easier, but I have to find ways to stay interested. When I first started doing it, it was, you have all these emotions and you sit down like, ‘This is what I want to say!’ But my process now is much more like having an editor. I write something, then go through it, revise it, edit it, there are rough drafts— it’s much more involved.

BRAVE AND AWESOME: ON CHOSEN NAMES AND DEADNAMES My name is Jacks. Yes, it’s my real name, and no, it’s not the name my parents gave me. My birth name was a super feminine one that’s popular in the American South, where I grew up. It’s a name for the kind of nice straight girl my parents hoped I would become, not the genderqueer misfit I turned out to be. In the queer and trans world, it would be called my “deadname,” and like most gender non-conforming folks, I don’t like it when people use or request my deadname. Using a gender creative person’s chosen name really matters. In a 2018 study from the University of Texas, Austin, researchers found that when transgender youth are allowed to use their chosen name in places such as work, school and at home, their risk of suicide and depression drops by as much as 71%. What?! That’s so huge. But why? When folks use your chosen name, it means they are respecting you and affirming your gender identity as real and meaningful. They are probably not bullying you. They are supporting you in making changes that help your outsides match your insides. If they are using your new name, they are probably also supporting your gender creativity in other ways, like not giving you crap about the length of your hair, the bathroom you use, the gender of your dates, or your choice about whether to wear mini skirts or cargo pants. They are probably letting you be you. I started using the name Jacks when I was 30, but I would have changed it earlier if I’d had the guts. But you know what? It’s bullshit that I didn’t have the guts. My reticence had to do with fear. The world is often a hostile place for gender non-

conforming folks, and I dealt with a lot of transphobia and homophobia from my family growing up. From my mom breaking down crying after I shaved my head when I was 19, to her utter panic and disdain when she found my boy’s briefs in the wash, being read as anything other than a girl was scary and often painful, however liberated I wanted to be. Out in the world, it could be downright dangerous— trans and gender non-conforming folks are vastly more likely to be victims of violence than most other populations. So whenever I thought about changing my name, I was afraid. I was afraid of how much more conspicuous my gender weirdness would become. I was afraid of being ridiculed. I was afraid of being hurt. I was also afraid everyone would think I was transitioning to become a man, which was not my desire, and then I could be misread and invalidated in yet another way. People seem to have an easier time accepting that someone wants to switch from one end of the gender binary to the other than accepting that someone exists in between. So please, be a persistent cheerleader for the gender nonconforming people in your life. They are being brave each time they show up as themselves in the world. Don’t use someone’s deadname. Respect their chosen name, even if they haven’t been able to change it legally yet, even if it doesn’t match the way you read their gender, even if you think it’s weird. Never ask someone “but what’s your real name?” and don’t assume that gender non-conforming identities are a phase or a fad. We have been here all along, in all societies. Thanks to phenomena like the internet and mass media, we’re coming out and becoming more visible, but we’re not new. We’re just a little less isolated and a little more awesome.

GABRIELLA MARKS
This week, the International Folk Art Market (ThursdaySunday July 11-July 14, various times and locations; folkartmarket.org) enters its 16th year with more than 100 artists from 52 countries, a slew of additional events and a new CEO, Stewart Ashman. A Santa Fe resident since 1977, Ashman has worked with the market in different capacities since its inception and has watched it evolve into the globally known event it is today. He chatted with us about what makes IFAM not just a market, but an asset to the community. (Nicole Madrid) Outside of the market, what are some of the things IFAM does? We say it’s more than a market, it’s a miracle. The idea is that the market serves as a platform for educating artists so that they could take back what they’ve learned here to their own communities and apply them. Some artists have gone home and organized other artists and created their own, much smaller markets, but using us as an example. And we want to teach [shoppers] about sustainability and about knowing the source of their products. If you go to a store and buy a dress or a blouse, you just look at the price, and if it looks good and it fits, you buy it. But we want people to know where the cotton for that was grown, who spun it, who designed the dress and who actually sold it. I think that’s an important piece in the current climate in the world to have an understanding of who the maker is for products, and that’s another kind of side benefit. Do you see a conscious effort to make the IFAM experience more accessible to more people? We do have the ability to send artists to schools and community centers around all parts of the city. Obviously, if you want to go to Disneyland, you have to go to Disneyland so you can get a taste of it—so to see the whole program, you need to come to the market. But the community celebration on the Thursday before the market is really well-attended. That’s on the Plaza, and it’s free and open to the public and all the artists are there in their traditional costumes. We really want to demonstrate the harmony that exists between people in every way possible. Obviously not everybody can afford to buy expensive jewelry, but there’s something for everybody in the market in terms of price point. As far as the admission price, it costs the same as going to the movies, and it’s a real-life experience where you could actually interact with people from 50 countries without having to go to those 50 countries. You grew up in Cuba; what kind of influence has that had on the work you’ve done with IFAM? Having grown up in a developing country, I have sort of an empathy for that world. You know, understanding the importance of reuse and recycling of materials. We basically are a society here that discards a lot of things. You just go buy a new one. And that’s not the reality in Cuba and in most of the world. You know, if your toaster breaks, somebody has got to figure out how to rewire it and fix it, because buying a new one is too expensive. So I think that has imparted an appreciation in me in how these objects are made. If somebody is a weaver, they actually buy the wool or grow the wool, and then shear the sheep and dye the wool themselves, and end up making a beautiful textile. And it’s all from scratch, in a way. And I think that’s something that I’ve learned to appreciate through my upbringing.

Fear of Missing Art
“
Francesca Yorke’s FOMA gallery begins the grand experiment
BY ALEX DE VORE |
a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
COURTESY THE ARTIST
wanted a word that sounded nice,” newly minted gallerist and photographer Francesca Yorke says. We’re sitting in her contemporary arts space, FOMA, in the Guadalupe Center on the corner of Guadalupe Street and Montezuma Avenue as she explains the name. She technically opened about a month ago, but this Friday heralds the grand opening as well as an exhibition from Dallas artist Linda Lynch and local photographer Todd Williams. “I like the sound of the word FOMA,” Yorke continues. “I mentioned it to a few people, … how Fear of Missing Art would be a nice little deviation. … It’s a little more light-hearted. A lot of galleries take themselves a little too seriously. And anyway, it can mean many other things, like Fan of Modern Art, which I am; and many others I won’t go into now.” Yorke’s new space feels classic: simple concrete floors and clean, white walls. Currently, her own paintings—a rather gorgeous set of abstract and geometric works—are on display, but as we get closer to Friday, she’ll begin hanging Lynch’s massive black pigment drawings (they’re 11 by 7 feet, Yorke says) and lining up Williams’ photos—all landscape in practice, though focused on a sort of quiet and beautiful mundanity. For Yorke, gallery ownership is a relatively new dream come true. She hails from London and came up as an arts and photo editor for no-longer-there photo archives since bought up by Getty. In college at the London School for Printing and Graphic Arts—now known as the London College of Communication—she studied photography and art history, and she’s been published and self-published more than two dozen times. In 1992, while working on a commissioned travel book with her sister, Yorke passed through Santa Fe, fell in love, and worked her way back here to stay by 2004. Locally, her paintings have hung at the nowclosed David Richard Gallery, but as far as the business and ownership side of things, a chance walk past her current space last fall awoke something in her. And here we are today, though the age-old tradition of slapping art and the walls and then
A&C
hopefully selling it is merely a starting point for Yorke. “At the moment, because this is so new to me,” she says, “I’m just showing artists, but I’m thinking of liaising with schools,” she says. “Or people who are young or unknown and who maybe don’t want to be represented—they can rent the space and have an exhibition; I’ll go to their studio and photograph them, have a reception, perhaps do a book for them; a marketing tool they can use at other galleries.” The idea is being able to take a step out of the labyrinthian set of rules and networking often required for up-and-comers to break into the gallery and exhibitions world. Or to at least put some of the power back in the hands of the creators. Further, she says, she wants to take some of the stigma out of arts pricing—namely that the unaffordable somehow equals good. The location, she says, is due for good things as well. With the New Mexico School for the Arts opening up in the old Sanbusco Center before long, the Vladem Contemporary site of the New Mexico Museum of Art coming soon kittycorner to FOMA, as well as the busy activity of already-there businesses, Yorke says the area is the closest she has felt to her London days yet. Depending on how these things work out and what her relationships with schools might look like, FOMA is poised to evolve. “I know it sounds like everything’s a bit vague,” she says, “but I feel like I’ve got to just be in the space as things gradually change.” This could include changes to the Guadalupe Center, of which Yorke is now part owner, but she’s not ready to discuss that yet. For now, she says, it’s all about the grand opening. “And if it doesn’t work, I’ll do something else,” she says with a laugh. “It’s weird; I almost feel like I’m back to a 9-to-5 job, but in terms of pushing me out of my comfort zone, it’s been great. … When digital came along, I almost quit photography, but gradually I embraced it, and I do know how to do it. Long term? It could end up being anything. I’m just obsessed with art.” FOMA GRAND OPENING

Lifelong New Mexican Paul Rainbird says Española’s El Paragua is as good as it gets.
people who cooked as well as she did. And they do that here. … El Paragua doesn’t dumb down their food. It’s truly authentic.” He also relates some of her methods. “Grandma would grind chiles from ristras we had made—on a metate with garlic from the garden—and for breakfast she would toast deer meat in a cast-iron pan on a wood stove, with a little lard, then add the chile pods and we’d put it on eggs,” he tells me. I can almost smell the rich aromas filling their kitchen. These days, Rainbird’s favorite homestyle dishes at El Paragua include chicos, posole, chicharrones and, oh yes, carne adovada. Chicos are an “ancient pueblo process for preserving corn,” Rainbird points out. Dried for storage by slow-roasting, the kernels are rehydrated and slow-cooked, then added to dishes for flavor. Their intensely sweet and smoky flavor turns El Paragua’s pinto beans into something else entirely, and are definitely my favorite pintos on the planet ($11.95 a bowl). Posole, sometimes an overlooked side at many New Mexican restaurants, is light but rich at El Paragua, made so by the addition of chicken. “Posole is like the sister to chicos,”

“Before we get started, I just have to say, this is the best Southwest food in all of New Mexico,” Rainbird says as we shake hands. “I have travelled the whole state, and it is hands-down the best, from Las Cruces to Chama, Clayton to Gallup.” Paul Rainbird, who hails from San IIdefonso Pueblo, is former director of the IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts and former president and CEO of the Southwestern Association for American Indian Arts. Obviously, he knows a lot about a lot, and he’s also a self-proclaimed foodie with fond memories of the smells and tastes from his family’s kitchens. His maternal grandmother was originally from Trinidad (the island, not the Colorado town) and lived in New York, where she learned to cook from all cultures. “Everything from plantains, corn fritters and pizza to curry, pot roast, and a gravy that was so amazing we put it on everything,” Rainbird explains. His paternal grandmother, Rose Gonzales, in addition to being one of New Mexico’s most celebrated potters, was also a star chef in Rainbird’s eyes. “She knew everything about every food in the Southwest,” he says. “My quest in life has always been to find

hen it comes to some of the most authentic New Mexican food around these parts, you’ll find few who disagree El Parasol is among the best. With six locations in Santa Fe, Los Alamos, Española and Pojoaque, it’s frequently found in SFR’s annual Best of Santa Fe issue, voted so by none other than you. The mothership of the enterprise, El Paragua (603 Santa Cruz Road, Española, 753-3211), which opened in its current location in 1966, is also considered among the best in the whole of the Southwest. It’s kind of a no-brainer when it comes to traditional New Mexican cuisine. So, when I got an email from a guy named Rainbird telling me I needed to review El Paragua, I was lukewarm on the idea. I mean, everyone already loves it. What more can I say about it that hasn’t already been said? Thankfully, though, he piqued my interest: “At El Paragua you will find a menu that is filled with authentic Southwestern food from 400 years ago. … As a Native American, I appreciate the food they have that is strictly from the pueblos.” I’ve always wondered, beyond the three sisters of corn, beans and squash, what specific New Mexican dishes carry the heaviest pueblo influence. So I trekked up to Española to get some schooling. On a Wednesday afternoon, El Paragua’s front door is opening more with people coming in than leaving, and lines are already forming at El Parasol outside. You can’t help but smile at the design history of the place—a mashup of vintage New Mexico meets alpine ski lodge meets turn-of-the-century mining shack meets old-school pizzeria.

Rainbird says. “We would have it with deer, rabbit or wild birds, and the corn absorbed the flavor of the meat. We also added dried red chile pods for flavor.” Chicharrones, slow-fried cubes of pork fat, specifically fat from between the skin and meat, were a constant source of excitement, or sometimes even great disappointment. “They’re so easy to burn if you’re not paying attention,” Rainbird says with a laugh. “So much work goes into getting the fat off the pig correctly, so if you burn it, everyone’s going to be mad at you.” El Paragua gets this classic dish right. Their chicharrones ($5.25 per side) are airy, crispy, and dissolve in your mouth like porky astronaut ice cream. And the moment you’ve been waiting for: the carne adovada. Traditionally a method of preserving pork, essentially fermenting it in red chile, this dish has become perhaps one of New Mexican cuisine’s best-known. El Paragua’s tender cubes of pork come coated with an intense, smoky sauce of red chile ($5 per side). When I can’t find a word for how refined its flavor is, Rainbird suggests “pure.” It’s an apt descriptor for a flavor, and also for this legendary spot up north.

+ ILLUSION
Whereas 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming finally captured the light-hearted aspects of the popular webslinger, Spidey’s newest foray into theaters feels flat, directionless and more like an expected next step rather than a meaningful conclusion to the first big phase of the Marvel cinematic universe. We pick up directly after the events of Avengers: Endgame, and things are finally getting back to normal for Peter Parker (Tom Holland) and his buds. Yes, they explain away the five-year time jump from Endgame as the so-called “blip,” and jokes about how some people aged while others didn’t abound. Meanwhile, Peter and his classmates are off to Europe for a poorly explained “science trip.” Once there, he plans to profess his feelings to MJ (Zendaya, who is just killing in on HBO’s Euphoria right now) atop the Eiffel Tower. Ooh, la la. But whoops–Nick Fury (Samuel L Jackson) and Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders from How I Met Your Mother, in case you just thought “Who the hell is that?”) need Spider-Man to stop a cadre of trans-dimensional elemental beasts who just so happen to also be in Europe, and this one dude Quentin Beck/Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal) is there

to help out—or is he? And are they? And will he? They? Her? Monsters? Jeeze. Cue explosions and telegraphed plot points far too obvious to even the most casual fan of comics, and within minutes, all the goodwill drummed up by the first film’s better story and the fantastic Michael Keaton is squandered on exhausting comic relief from Freaks & Geeks alum Martin Starr and Curb Your Enthusiasm’s JB Smoove (usually a comic genius, here not as much). On the surface, we’re force-fed that tired old superhero axiom about how the friends and family of these heroes are always in danger, though why this means Marisa Tomei (a national treasure, and here Peter’s aunt) had to be underused or why we had to sit through Jon Favreau’s “humor” is anyone’s guess. Holland is a fine choice for Spider-Man, all small and dorky, though maybe a little handsome to play nerd. Either way, he’s surely superior to whatever 37-year-old men were playing a teen in earlier films. Still, he doesn’t have much to work
with as the script seems aimed solely at 13-yearolds who probably won’t be thrilled about Far From Home’s reductive insistence that they’re a bunch of phone-obsessed assholes who submit readily to co-dependence on their best days and treat each other like shit on their worst. Gyllenhaal does his best, though despite his performance from Nightcrawler a few years back proving he can play terrifying, never comes across as menacing so much as silly and whiny. The thrill is gone, the magic faded and no matter how many times we see Holland’s eyes tear up because, like, he loves so hard and has so much at stake and oh, God, does he miss Tony Stark, it’s simply not possible to summon the feelings needed to enjoy this film. SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME Directed by Jon Watts With Holland, Gyllenhaal, Zendaya, Smulders, Tomei, Favreau and Jackson Regal (both locations), Violet Crown, PG-13, 129 min.

+ FATES OF JERKS; THE SCENERY - AN ABSOLUTE SNOOZE-FEST; NOT SCARY
When it comes to horror, the audience is usually, y’know, scared. Not so for the oddly paced Midsommar, the second outing from Hereditary filmmaker (and College of Santa Fe alum) Ari Aster. The climax comes late in the 147-minute runtime slog, and though the opening act is harrowing, the vast middle is stretched too thin, leaving in place of horror a long, grim flatline. Our protagonist Dani (Florence Pugh) is readjusting after her entire family dies in a murder-suicide, an event barely mentioned again throughout the rest of the film after Dani’s grief is established, when she learns her boyfriend Christian (Jack Reynor) and his awful friends Josh (The Good Place’s William Jackson Harper) and Mark (Will Poulter; Black Mirror: Bandersnatch) have planned a visit to a Swedish commune and childhood home of their fellow friend Pelle (a far more sympathetic Vilhelm Blomgren). Dani was never told of the trip,

much less invited, but once the truth comes out, Christian begrudgingly invites her to the frustration of his bros. What follows is a jumbled and uninteresting mess of bizarre pagan rituals, psychedelic drug use, people sitting quietly at picnic tables and predictable yet often inexplicably off-screen terrors. The fates of the bros are the only positive element of the film’s plot, particularly as Dani is celebrated by the wacky Swedish pagans while all of her terrible traveling companions get their comeuppance one by one. Reynor, Poulter and Harper all put on fair enough jerk performances, and Pugh’s turn as the go-along-to-get-along girlfriend is convincing, but this only really manifests itself in snarky jabs with huge stretches of decidedly un-scary stuff peppered between beautiful shots of the Swedish countryside. It’s an admittedly cool premise and carries that trademarked Aster style, but Midsommar is executed in a clunky fashion. Perhaps Aster has hit his sophomore slump, but we were hoping for something a little more effective and even a little terrifying. No dice. (Will Costello) Regal 14, Violet Crown, R, 147 min.

+ SOME BEATLES SONGS ARE GREAT - FUCKING ED SHEERAN; THE MESSAGE; THE MOTIVE
It’s difficult to know where to begin when it comes to the shortcomings of Yesterday, Danny Boyle’s (Slumdog Millionaire) newest and a veritable marathon of problematic lessons and shitty behavior, but I’m gonna try. There will be spoilers, so consider yourself warned. It is the present, and a young British singersongwriter named Jack (newcomer Himesh Patel) slogs through the obstacles of whatever antiquated ideas he’s somehow associated with “making it.” Nobody cares, except his biggest fan and manager Ellie (Baby Driver’s Lily James), a manic pixie dream girl type who has been hopelessly in love with Jack since high school (and who cites her “frizzy hair” as a possible reason that she hasn’t been noticed because UGH). But of course, he’s never noticed. Puke. And then the electricity of the planet zaps out for 12 seconds for reasons never explained, and every non-Jack person on Earth forgets that The Beatles ever existed. At first Jack’s weirded out, but then, as any rational person would do, he decides to capitalize on their objectively awesome songs and pass them off as his own. He does, gets famous and realizes he loved the girl all along— but uh-oh, she’s developed self-respect just long enough to keep the drama going. In the end, she forgives him because of course she does because this movie is terrible. It’s important to note that it’s fun to hear revised versions of The Beatles’ well-worn songs, but from the moment Ed fucking Sheeran hits the screen, Yesterday descends into a dangerous mess of tired cinematic romance tropes, magic realism we don’t even want to accept for fun and other nonsensical aspects too boring to get into here. Instead, allow me to give you a little list of reasons to skip this movie altogether: • Sheeran’s portrayal of himself paints the “Shape of You” singer as a stunted man-child brimming with jealousy, narcissism and bad ideas. Instead of being funny, it seems too real, and I believe the filmmakers that this is what he’s like. • SNL’s Kate McKinnon as manager to Sheeran and eventually Jack is so lacking in dimension, even she is probably someplace cringing at the character’s poor dialogue and utterly unfunny presence in the film. • Patel may bring a quiet vulnerability to the role of Jack at first, but by the end of the film, as he’s live-streaming his longtime friend and potential love partner’s image onto a buildingsized screen at Wembley Stadium without her consent during an ill-conceived grand public gesture—a friend who, by the way, has a fucking boyfriend who helped Jack record the pilfered

songs in the first act FOR FUCKING FREE—it’s clear he’s a self-absorbed dick as bad as Sheeran, and that he learned literally nothing from The Beatles’ message of love (not counting songs like “Run For Your Life” because, frankly, The Beatles themselves were not so great in that regard, thank you very much) and who cares very little for how his actions affect those he supposedly cares about. Thus, Yesterday reinforces dangerous messaging, such as pining nets results and that it’s OK to hurt people you say you love so long as you place them in very public and potentially humiliating situations. This thing’s just gonna piss you off. (ADV)

THE LAST BLACK MAN IN SAN FRANCISCO
8
+ FAILS AND MAJORS IMPRESS; THE
MUSIC - NOT FOR THE IMPATIENT
There was probably a time in San Francisco when the everyman and everywoman and every-enby could make their way. But that was so long ago, nobody can remember. The dot-com world took over, of course, and the City by the Bay descended into the unaffordable at best, the downright ludicrous at worst; a recent study found that median rent cost had surpassed $3,500. But what of the natives and the non-tech folk? The people of color and the middle and
lower classes? They’re shoved further away from the heart of San Francisco daily, if they can stay at all, and freshman filmmakers Jimmie Fails and Joe Talbot have a thing or two to say about that. The Last Black Man in San Francisco is like a love/hate letter to the city from Fails and Talbot, both natives of the area. Their version of their hometown is long since gone, however, replaced by newcomers with more money than heart and a rapidly changing energy that is unrecognizable to its most steadfast denizens. Fails basically plays himself, a young man living with his best friend Mont (Jonathan Majors, White Boy Rick) and his grandfather (Danny Glover) on the outskirts of the Bay. He longs to reclaim the one-time family home, a massive Victorian purportedly built by his grandfather in the 1940s and lost in the ’90s. With his family scattered, he and Mont visit the house regularly, touching up the paint, making plans to clean the garden and, when it winds up vacated, squatting inside and reclaiming the space. Fails and Talbots’ script is smart and subtle in its exposing of hard realities. There is no preaching or beating of the chest here; rather, the things that happen happen quietly, without fanfare, like the events of our own real lives. It is not fantastical or overwrought, instead clever and nuanced, particularly with Mont, a gentle soul, playwright and artist who’d follow Jimmie to the ends of the earth if he asked. Fails impresses as well with his tender portrayal of a dreamer type whose priorities were skewed so long ago, he can barely remember why he made
Maybe you love Beatles songs, but that’s just not enough to make Yesterday any good.
them. Peripheral characters provide context and motive, but without feeling relegated to expositional devices; each plays a vital part, each represents another endangered part of the city. It all works to a heartbreaking head that won’t be spoiled here, but the overall message rings true enough for anyone from any place: People aren’t one thing, and we should never place our faith or identities into a single house, profession, box; maybe we need to leave the debris behind to make room for something truly amazing.

MEN IN BLACK: INTERNATIONAL
4
+ HEMSWORTH’S TORSO - DEAD TIRED FRANCHISE; THE REST OF HEMSWORTH
The appeal of Chris Hemsworth continues to elude me in Men in Black: International, a tired reboot of the exhausted popcorn movie franchise about aliens and the government agents who hunt them. The temptation to make a Meh in Black joke at this point is overwhelming indeed, but we’re trying to run a classy operation here. Hemsworth takes over the role of veteran Agent M from Tommy Lee Jones, and that’s the movie’s biggest problem—Jones’ deadpan attitude and delivery were a critical fuel source in the first three films, which maintained a dry comic quality even as the sequel films gradually declined. MIB has always been a second-tier comic book series anyway, but its wry sense of itself was its distinguishing characteristic, and that was only jazzed up by the undeniable comic chemistry between Jones and Will Smith. Such attitude and chemistry are largely absent in this new installation, which brings aboard Tessa Thompson (Hemsworth’s costar in Thor: Ragnarok) as the agency’s newest Person in Black. The film tosses in a couple of throwaway jokes to explain away the gender dilemma and they’re pretty good, actually, thanks to the reliable comic instincts of Emma Thompson, here MIB’s big boss. The Thompson twins are, in fact, the film’s greatest assets; Tessa and Emma have the funniest scenes, individually and together, and each brings a kind of poise that plays nicely against the frantic direction by F Gary Gray (Straight Outta Compton). They never quite replicate Jones’ deadpan counterpoint maneuvers, but they at least understand the value of them. So much of the comedy in this franchise pivots on attitude, on the characters and their various reactions to the weirdness playing out around them. Hemsworth never finds an effective frequency for his Agent M, sadly, and he flatlines gag after gag with

The Last Black Man in San Francisco is easily one of the best films of the year. overdone posturing and oversold charm. He does,however, look absolutely fantastic in bespoke summerwear shirts cut to optimize his intrinsic awesomeness. And I’m not being snarky—I mean it. Aesthetically, you cannot argue with that man’s torso. Story-wise, it’s the usual routine: Aliens threaten Earth, the MIB mobilize, CGI monsters are dispatched, boss fight at the end. The film’s International tag refers to its various exotic locales—Morocco, Italy, London, a fake Paris— but there’s a sheen of flop sweat toward the end as the movie tries desperately to distract you from the inescapable facts: You’ve already seen this movie, and it was better the first time, the second time and the third time.

GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS
7
+ INCREDIBLE BATTLES; NOSTALGIA - CHEESY; FAR TOO MANY HINTS OF THE NEXT FLICK’S PLOT
Make way for your favorite movie monster and pals to emerge once again with Godzilla: King of the Monsters, and good grief these guys are a menace! The days of actors in rubber suits trampling over cardboard sets—or even that bad CGI iguana in NYC circa ’99—are all thankfully relics of the past. A sequel to 2014’s Godzilla, the newest entry takes lessons from its predecessor’s lack of monster action, now packing so much in, you’ll worry a bathroom break will rob you of whatever’s on the horizon. Many of the film’s principal actors are recipients of film and television’s highest accolades; Emmys and Golden Globes and such, and their presence is mostly enough to carry weak dialogue or scenes of paper-thin exposition. Vera Farmiga (The Departed) and Kyle Chandler (Peter Jackson’s King Kong) are former spouses grieving the loss of their first child. But they’re also scientists, dammit, both with differing opinions of the creatures (or “Titans,” as the film calls them), and they take action accordingly. Their second child, played by Stranger Things’ Millie Bobby Brown—a character created so a younger audience can have a relatable figure—is caught in the middle of the tug-of-war. Bradley Whitford, Sally Hawkins, Charles Dance, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Aisha Hinds and the great Ken Watanabe fill out the rest of the ensemble cast, and though their talents are certainly underused, it’s good to see them in something so silly that almost anything can be forgiven. Besides, one doesn’t go to a Kaiju movie for the narrative structure or in search of moving performances, but for the spectacle—and we certainly find the spectacular here. With monsters front and center, the visual splendor
is quite satisfying. Godzilla and Mothra glow in cool notes of neon blues and greens, while others like King Ghidorah, the three-headed one, accompany violent electric storms saturated in rich yellows and oranges. We see clear shots of the famous monsters battling with coherent editing and no awkward shaky cam close-ups; when the Titans clash, the sound assaults your senses, rupturing eardrums. Even the soundtrack adds to the successful mixing of the effects, accentuating the artificial carnage. But don’t worry, there’s plenty of stereotypical lens flare to distract from the amusingly fake sets. If nothing else, your inner child will love all of it. Although the fanboy cheese is present in every frame, it only tries your patience occasionally. One too many hints were dropped for the next big monster movie, for example, and expect to see your favorite ape thrown into the mix with a wink. In the meantime, leave your analytical sensibilities at the door and enjoy the familiar creatures as they go boom. (Matthew K Gutierrez)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Please don’t try to relax. Don’t shy away from challenges. Don’t apologize for your holy quest or tone down your ambition or stop pushing to get better. Not now, anyway, Libra. Just the opposite, in fact. I urge you to pump up the volume on your desires. Be even bigger and bolder and braver.

For example, if infants don’t get the experience of being protected and cared for by adults, it will be hard for them to develop that capacity as toddlers. This is a good metaphor for a developmental phase that you Geminis are going through.

I also confess that I am powerless over these addictions. Now I invite you to be inspired by my silly example and undertake a playful but serious effort to face up to your own fixations. The astrological omens suggest it’s a perfect moment to do so. What are you addicted to? What habits are you entranced by? What conditioned responses are you enslaved to? What traps have you agreed to be snared by? The time is right to identify these compulsions, then make an audacious break for freedom. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): When cherries are nearing the end of their ripening process, they are especially vulnerable. If rain falls on them during those last few weeks, they can rot or split, rendering them unmarketable. So cherry-growers hire helicopter pilots to hover over their trees right after it rains, using the downdraft from the blades to dry the valuable little fruits. It may seem like overkill, but it’s the method that works best. I advise you to be on the lookout for similar protective measures during the climactic phase of your personal ripening process. Your motto should be to take care of your valuables by any means necessary.
or group from whom you have been alienated. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): My astrological colleague Guru Gwen believes that right now Aquarians should get scolded and penalized unless they agree to add more rigor and discipline to their rhythms. On the other hand, my astrological colleague Maestro Madelyn feels that Aquarians need to have their backs massaged, their hands held, and their problems listened to with grace and empathy. I suppose that both Gwen and Madelyn want to accomplish the same thing, which is to get you back on track. But personally, I’m more in favor of Madelyn’s approach than Gwen’s. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): As a self-taught rebel poet with few formal credentials, I may not have much credibility when I urge you to get yourself better licensed and certified and sanctioned. But according to my analysis of the astrological omens, the coming months will be a favorable time for you to make plans to get the education or training you’re lacking; to find out what it would mean to become more professional, and then become more professional; to begin pursuing the credentials that will earn you more power to fulfill your dreams.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You’re in the Land of Green Magic. That’s potentially very good news, but you must also be cautious. Why? Because in the Land of Green Magic, the seeds of extraneous follies and the seeds of important necessities both grow extra fast. Unless you are a careful weeder, useless stuff will spring up and occupy too much space. So be firm in rooting out the blooms that won’t do you any good. Be aggressive in nurturing only the very best and brightest.
